# AnyCable

AnyCable allows you to use any WebSocket server (written in any language) as a replacement for your Ruby server (such as Faye, ActionCable, etc).

AnyCable uses the same protocol as ActionCable, so you can use its [JavaScript client](https://www.npmjs.com/package/actioncable) without any monkey-patching.
